Happy April 1st! Today we had to be extra careful or else the Kindergarten friends were sneaking some “poisson d’avril” on our backs 🐟 🙂

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

A beautiful wintery craft that will benefit the squirrels and birds too! @PPARocdsb #KJSB

A Halloween parade for the books at @PPARocdsb

Who has two thumbs and has been hired into a French Kindergarten LTO at @PPARocdsb ?

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Let’s hope my first day as a teacher proves a little less tearful than my first day of Kindergarten 😉

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Absolutely thrilled to have accepted the DOT position at @PPARocdsb this school year. This is a full circle moment as I myself attended Pleasant Park from JK-Grade 6 😊

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have known this incredible group of Grade 3s for the past two months. They have helped me grow as a teacher and we have shared many, many laughs together. I am eternally grateful for my first LTO opportunity with @OCVElementary 💕

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Can you believe that there are only 26 school days left until the summer holiday?? 😱

Today, my Grade 3 students from @OCVElementary and I celebrated Animal & Art Day as we begin our ABC Countdown to summer!

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

On this Fun Friday, the Grade 3s took a virtual field trip to @WonderlandNews and rode TWENTY rides! Everyone kept their breakfast down, although some students’ minds were “going to explode!” 🤯🎢 @OCVElementary

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Back again👩🏼‍💻✨ This time flying solo (apart from my furry assistant), teaching an incredible group of Grade 3 students at @OCVElementary

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

And that’s a wrap on my Bachelor of Education 🎉 I never thought that I’d be finishing off my last day of practicum @AvalonPSchool saying goodbye to my students virtually. These past two years have been nothing short of crazy, but here we are, more adaptable than ever.

[@CSHUOttawa @CSHUOttawa]

We could not be more proud of our 2nd yrs who we say goodbye to this week! Tears at early photos of hugs and close bent heads working together - ending with virtual communities just as strong. Oh the places you'll go-and the CSH you'll bring!! @IA4LProject @uOttawaEdu

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Today was a good day 🎉

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Nothing says fun like a round of Decimal War! The Grade 4/5 students at @AvalonPSchool loved this low-stakes game for practising decimals.

A belated tweet of the stellar activity stations from Y2s last week. Snowshoes for toys, upcycled bird feeders, fitness bingo & science trivia. I can't wait to see this week's line up! @CSHUOttawa @uOttawaEdu

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

Heart burst of the day:

After teaching a fraction lesson using Smarties, a Grade 5 student at @AvalonPSchool says to me: “In all my years at school, that was the BEST and TASTIEST math lesson ever.”

[OCDSB @OCDSB]

Next Wednesday, February 24th, is #PinkShirtDay. Let's wear pink and stand together against bullying in schools, in the workplace, and online. Learn more: https://t.co/C8TFduARCk #BeKind #LiftEachOtherUp

My Grade 2/3 students @AvalonPSchool LOVE doing Reader’s Theatre. Yesterday they performed a few fractured fairy tale scripts in front of their peers.

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

No.

[Ms. Gina @gina_morphy]

My Grade 4/5 students at @AvalonPSchool were stunned when I handed them an activity with no instructions. But sure enough, it sparked rich discussion and they worked collaboratively all the way through!
